Chapter 51: The Art of Killing (Added to the recommendation with 8,000 votes)
Seeing my shocked and horrified expression, I followed my gaze to the place where I was looking, and I kept looking intently at the woman and the child, and I could even make sure that they were half on the edge of the roof, and I pinched my hands desperately to make sure I was awake.
Yes, I saw them, the night breeze blew the long hair of the woman in red hanging low, her face was completely exposed under the moonlight, there was no horror and distortion as I imagined, it was a beautifully carved face, exactly like the woman I saw in the photo I gave Zhou Baiman.
Mu Hanzhi and Mu Xiaoxuan!
Yun Duruo must have realized what I was seeing, and carefully lifted the white cloth that covered her and walked towards the edge of the roof, when the last white cloth was lifted, and the door of the staircase was pushed open.
"I'm late......" Chu Tianqi appeared at the door, and halfway through speaking, he saw everyone looking back at him, Chu Tianqi looked up and saw me on the stage and the skeleton corpse shaking like a scarecrow behind him.
When he came, he said that he would rush over after finishing the work in hand, and the appearance of Chu Tianqi made me pay attention to him, and suddenly remembered Mu Hanzhi's mother and son on the edge of the roof, and when he hurriedly turned his head, Yun Duruo had already walked to the place where I was looking before, but it was empty.
As if they had never appeared, Mu Hanzhi and Mu Xiaoxuan just disappeared into the darkness out of thin air, and I saw Yun Duruo turn around and look at me, his eyes full of doubts.
"Did you just see anything?" After locking off the roof, I walked up to her and asked in an extremely low voice.
Yun Duruo shook his head blankly, and asked suspiciously: "I think your expression should be what you see, what do you see?" ”
I licked my lips and waited for a long time to answer her uncertainly.
"Mu Hanzhi and Mu Xiaoxuan! Their mother and son were standing on the edge of the roof. ”
Yun Duruo subconsciously turned back to look at the place she had just explored, and looked at me in shock, I could see that she didn't see anything, but there was more worry and anxiety in her eyes.
We returned to Mu Hanzhi's room, found unwashed blood stains in the bathtub, and the man hanging on the roof of the building was sent back to the bureau to prepare for an autopsy, no matter who killed him, one thing is obvious, the body was blatantly hung on the roof of the building, and the murderer had no intention of covering it up at all, but why he chose to kill in Mu Hanzhi's room, what the motive and intention were, are unknown.
Ling Guodong took people back overnight to do the identification of the bloodstains and footprints at the scene, looking at Yun Duruo's anxious expression, there was no clue about the previous case, and it actually happened again, although she never said anything in her mouth, but I knew in my heart that the cases that had occurred one after another during this period of time had overwhelmed her.
I was going to be able to go back to rest tonight, but when I saw Yun Duruo's tired face, I knew that she was going to stay up late tonight, so I said to her after smoking the last cigarette downstairs.
"I'm going to do an autopsy tonight, hoping to find some clues."
Yun Duruo originally wanted to say something, but it was probably because he saw my resolute attitude, pursed his lips and nodded gratefully, Chu Tianqi said that he would help me when the time was urgent.
Yun Duruo arranged for someone to investigate the background of the deceased, and the detection of the case requires on-site exploration and identification from Ling Guodong's side and an autopsy report from my side, before these results come out, the only thing Yun Duruo can do is wait.
She changed her clothes and followed me and Chu Tianqi into the dissection room, the man's body had already been delivered, to be exact, it was just a skeleton lying on it.
"Can the direct cause of death be confirmed after the autopsy?" Yun Duruo asked me while wearing a mask.
I took a deep breath and shook my head, and replied lightly.
"The cause of death of the deceased is actually an autopsy."
In fact, this corpse doesn't need me and Chu Tianqi to do too much autopsy at all, what we have to do, the murderer has done almost everything, I took the scalpel and looked at it for a long time and then slowly put it down.
The murderer's double eyelids were cut open, which reminds me of Zhang Songlin's eyes, which are also cut off eyelids, but compared to the corpse on the dissecting table, Zhang Songlin's own eyelids cut off are like rough and inferior defects, and the cutting technique of the eyelids in front of us is like a work of art under the master's exquisite skills, the angle and strength of the knife are perfect, and from the point of view of the degree of blood coagulation of the wound, the murderer's technique is extremely accurate.
There are only two black holes left in the man's eyes, and the eyes have been taken away, but they are not very barbaric, Chu Tianqi and I studied under the shadowless lamp for a long time, and the murderer should have cut the conjunctiva along the limbus of the cornea, separated the conjunctiva and the subconjunctival tissue below the equator, and then separated the four rectus muscles to pull the eyeball.
The optic nerve of the deceased was cut from the inside and upper to the ball, and then the stump of the rectus muscle in the eyeball was inserted, the eyeball was gouged out, and the upper and lower oblique muscles and other small neurovascular tissues were cut off against the sclera.
It was a delicate and complete enucleation of the eyeball, and the killer had extremely high surgical anatomical knowledge from the point of view of the technique.
But!
Yun Duruo saw that my face was a little solemn, and asked curiously, "But what?" ”
Eye enucleation surgery requires anesthesia, and the methods are generally local anesthesia and epianaesthesia, but no matter which one is used, the anesthetized site will not change approximately, and I have carefully inquired and have not found the pinhole of anesthesia.
The murderer did not inject the deceased with anesthetic, but removed the eyeball when the deceased was fully conscious, not to mention how much severe pain the deceased had to endure, the murderer knew very well that for pain and fear, the latter's direct psychological stimulation was far greater than the physical pain, which is why people instinctively close their eyes when they encounter danger.
The murderer not only physically tortured the deceased, but also psychologically tortured the deceased, so before removing the deceased's eyeball, the murderer first removed the deceased's eyelids, so the deceased watched the murderer insert the scalpel into his eye, feeling the severe pain and witnessing his eye being cut off.
Looking at the expression on Yun Duruo's face, I knew that she also shuddered when she heard it, in fact, the cruelty of the murderer had reached the point of outrageousness, if Zhang Songlin ended his life in an extremely barbaric way, then this murderer completely regarded killing as art, and it could be seen that he enjoyed the whole process very much.
The deceased's head was cut off from the cervical vertebrae, the section was clean, flat and smooth, and there were no burrs left by repeated sawing between the bones of the section, which shows that the murderer was unusually familiar with the structure of the human body.
As for the rest of the skeleton, there are some deviations from my previous judgment, at first I thought that the murderer slowly removed the muscles and flesh of the deceased and left the skeleton, but the skeleton of the deceased has serious oxidation and corrosion marks, I recalled the bathtub in the bathroom of Mu Hanzhi's home, and suddenly realized how the murderer did it.
It was not as complicated as I thought, the murderer put the deceased into the bathtub, and then poured concentrated sulfuric acid into it, until the sulfuric acid corroded the skin and flesh of the deceased, and what was left was the skeleton we saw in front of us.
I basically knew the murderer's method and order of murder through the corpse.
First of all, the murderer took the deceased to Mu Hanzhi's room, but there was no trace of fighting and dispute in the room, judging from the skeleton of the deceased, he was an adult male, and he would instinctively resist in the face of danger, but the deceased was completely mermaid.
At the beginning, when I studied the removal of the deceased's eyeball, I thought that the murderer wanted to torture and destroy the deceased, so I did not inject anesthetic, but in the end, through the laboratory test, I found the residual anesthetic in the spine, and Chu Tianqi told us after the test that it was the body's motor nerve anesthetic.
It dawned on me that the murderer did not inject anesthetic, but injected anesthetic that made the deceased's muscle groups unable to move, so the deceased has been unable to resist, but the deceased's perceptual nerves are awake, to put it bluntly, the deceased's body cannot move, but can sense external stimulation and pain.
The murderer first cut off the eyelids of the deceased, and then put the deceased into the bathtub, and when the deceased was fully conscious, he poured concentrated sulfuric acid into the bathtub, and I found traces of adhesive tape in the deceased's mouth, which shows that the deceased's mouth was sealed at that time and could not shout, and the deceased could not move when he felt the severe pain caused by the corrosion of the body by the concentrated sulfuric acid, and at the same time watched his body being slowly corroded in the concentrated sulfuric acid.
The murderer should know and know how much pain a person can bear, so before the deceased is completely unconscious and faints, let the deceased watch his eyes being removed, and after completing this series of steps, the deceased will fall into a coma due to severe damage to the central nervous system and excessive blood loss and shock.
The murderer then cleanly cut off the deceased's head, allowing the rest of the deceased's body to be corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid.
"Why did the murderer cut off the head of the deceased?" Yun Duruo asked suspiciously when he heard this. "If it's to vent anger, cutting off the deceased's head is a bit redundant." |.
"Maybe there's something special." I replied with some certainty.
"What will happen if you don't remove it?" Yun Du asked thoughtfully.
"Concentrated sulfuric acid will corrode the face of the deceased, and if it is not cut, the face will completely decay according to the degree of corrosion of the deceased." Chu Tianqi replied in the affirmative.
"Completely rotten......" I said in surprise after a moment's pause. Did the killer deliberately want to keep a complete head so that we could know who the deceased was? ”
Yun Duruo nodded and said, the murderer should have intentionally left an uncorroded head for us, judging from the form of the deceased found on the roof of the building, the murderer had nothing to do after killing the deceased, and the reason why he did it like that was for everyone to see, and the motive was more inclined to revenge.
Hearing Yun Duruo talk about revenge, I suddenly remembered the withered black mandala in the vase in Mu Hanzhi's room, and the flower language happened to be revenge and unpredictable death, and choosing to kill in Mu Hanzhi's room showed that this place had a special meaning for the murderer.
Reading the book review, a friend asked why the character of Fang Shi has not appeared yet, don't look at Tanling with a preconceived point of view, follow the progress of the book, you will find that Rong Yan has changed a little bit from not knowing to understanding the truth behind the case, and - don't guess the murderer, I have repeatedly deduced the rationality of logic in the outline before writing, I don't think anyone should be able to guess the murderer - of course, the real murderer of this series of cases will not use any ghosts to kill people and prevaricate everyone, I promise to give you a real murderer
